Inside El Salvador Most Feared Gang Prison | CECOT | ENDEVR Documentary
Java El Salvador Mega Prisons, Maras and the World’s Coolest Dictator | ENDEVR
Watch ‘Gangs of Marseille: Welcome to the Most Dangerous City in Europe’ here: https://youtu.be/sCwA4xopUtY
With more than 3,000 homicides per year for a population of six million, El Salvador has long held the record of being the most dangerous country in the world. This insecurity was caused by gang warfare between MS13 and Barrio 18. To combat this violence, El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, declared a ruthless war on gangs. Over 75,000 people accused of being members of MS-13 and Barrio 18 have been arrested and thrown into prison. An extraordinary penitentiary was built especially for them: the CECOT (Terrorism Containment Center). It’s the biggest prison in the world. We gained exclusive access. Fifteen thousand prisoners are locked up here, most of whom will never leave alive. The prison is the symbol of a relentless crackdown on gangs by the 42-year-old president.
The policy of repression is bearing fruit. Neighborhoods that were once run by killers are now calm. Buoyed by the support of the population, who are delighted to be living in peace at last, the President continues his merciless manhunt for gang members. The last ones still at large are fleeing abroad. We spoke to one former gang member, now on the run.
But, as documented by Amnesty International, the crackdown has also resulted in systemic human rights abuses. The police are under pressure to meet arrest quotas, innocent people have been arrested, and their families struggle to get them released. These “blunders” do not thwart President Bukele’s security policy. To show that his country is now totally secure, he organized & hosted the Miss Universe pageant in 2023 and has embraced his title of ’the world’s coolest dictator’.

Thinking about the gang member that was have his tattoos removed and complaining about his pain. I was thinking about all the pain he has caused others. I believe that execution is the proper punishment for these evil people.

Terrible how innocent people are getting arrested just so quotas to be met, the people that support this only support it because it doesn't effect them whatsoever but the moment someone in their family or they're personally effected they'd be begging for help.

i'm 33 now. i first met my (ex)brother-in-law when i was around 8-years-old. him&his family are some of the most warm,loving,&hilarious people i've ever met. i don't see them as much now that i'm older,but the love for them all is still there.

They should just make it a gas chamber and rid the planet of the garbage.
Why pay to keep them?

Whatever . We know how easy it is to stop this. They did it in almost every town in America when the laws don't work 😊😊 and when they do it's a picnic event to watch them bring the kids to the drunk robbers hanging

One of the most leftist reports I've ever seen.
Are there innocent people and judicial errors?
Yes, there are
But what about in more Western, more "democratic" systems?
Are there no judicial errors?
Very difficult times require difficult and even unpopular measures.
Would anyone in their right mind trade this country's present for its recent past???
Is this system perfect?
Of course not!!!
It's the best that can be done in an emergency situation.
